I use these on my 1999 Ford Conversion Van which I use to pull a 3,000 lb trailer. I got about 80.000 miles on the first set and 10.000 so far on the second. Never had a flat, love the traction, can't beat the tread-life. Can't imagine how they could be any better.

Are there cheaper tires you can buy? Sure. But the smooth, quiet ride you get (especially in an SUV) with these tires, makes all the difference. My tire dealer actually tried to offer me a cheaper tire, but I've had the others - there is no comparison.

i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

I ran these on a 2003 2500 HD Chev pickup. I got 101,000 plus miles on the first set which I put on right after I bought the truck new. Put the second set on in the spring of this year. Hope the truck lasts as long as the second set of tires. I've never gotten this kind of mileage on a tire before. My wife drives a tahoe and as soon as the factory tires wear out I'll put Michelin LTX-MS on it so she will have a safe long lasting tire on her vehicle. Its doesn't get any better than this.

The tires that came with new Silverado lasted about 27,000 miles. I was sorely disappointed, so I bit the bullet and bought the ltx m/s and I haven't looked back. I had owned a set of Michelins on my old car and they lasted a long time but I just wasn't sure how well the truck tires would do and they were pricey. I'm not off roading, just hwy miles but I managed to make those babies last PAST the 80,000 mile warranty. So I figure I actually saved money by not replacing cheap tires 2 or 3 times. They have a smooth ride and are much better than the old ones on water. Snow and ice... not so much. But we only have a few days of nasty winter weather so I can live with that. I love these tires. Now on my second set.

Mine are the old style ltx and 6 years old with 87,000 current miles on them. The vehicle came with lattitudes that wore out at 77,000. I rotate myself every 5,000 and keep track of the correct rotation in a book. They show slight signs of sun wear and I'll change them before the next winter with an amazing amount of tread left. People still ask if I just bought new tires. Best handling, noise and wear tires I've ever owned!

I have had issues keeping one of these tires in this particular set in balance so that has been a real pain. This is my 2nd set of this tire and that is the only complaint I have had with either sets of these tires. I will definately purchase these again.

Our vehicles (17+" tires) all have Michelin tires. Purchased smaller used vehcile (15") with non-Michelin but quickly forced to replace. Immediately had little or no road noise, tail-fishing or bumpy ride! The smaller tires are as excellent as their bigger "siblings"!!

I have 38,000 miles on this set and it’s time to replace them. This set is on a GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4. I drive 90% city and 10% dirt roads and no towing. I was pleased with the quiet comfortable ride. However, I was very unsatisfied with how unevenly they wore down and the short lifespan.

I purchased my first set of Michelin tires 20 years ago, and was so impressed I haven't considered any other tires since! The current tires on my truck have in excess of 50,000 miles and still look like they have close to 50% tread left and ride and handle as good as they ever did. Still the best tires money can buy!!
